1-SPOILERS AHEAD

I can list up to 1,000 ways this book could had been better. But that'll take too long so I'll list the ones that annoyed me the most.

1--What the hell was up with all the secondary characters that had their own plots? I don't care about them; I only care about the main characters! MacKenzie ruined the first half of the book by popping up people that seem to be from her other books (TNG is my first read from her so I don't give a crap about them at this point.)

2--She made the heroine, Meg, too stupid throughout the majority of the book. How dense can she be? I wanted to clonk her over the head every time her sister or that b***h Grace or John's mother tells her she's a harlot by messing around with John in the bushes and all she can stammer out how it's her fault and not John's. (Grace should speak for herself. From my understanding, she was sleeping with another guy when engaged to John fours years ago.) The females in this book were annoying and nosy bodies who deserved several good slaps. Every time they talk to Meg, I keep expecting her to scream, "STFU" and flick the middle finger at them. Yes, childish but way better than acting meek and not having a damn backbone.

3--The hero, John, could have had a better personality and stand up for himself more. Everyone belittles him from his mother, to those stupid men from another book, to just everyone. Sure, he doesn’t have a title to his name but shouldn't he be allow to also scream, "STFU, suck my d**k" and throw a few punches around? Grace would be the first victim that b***h Yes, again, childish but come’on!!! Nobody listens to him, nobody respect him, and I'm surprise he took all of their snarky comments and didn't react. At all.

4--One thing I did like in this book (wow!) was that MacKenzie did a good job at telling us what both characters felt at a certain point. Like one scene when Meg was running away from John into the garden and we read about how she feels about him--before he catches up to her. Then it ends and we get to see the chase scene through John's feelings about her. I find that really original. Not many authors these days allow us into both hero and heroine's minds.

5--Another thing I like (double wow!) was the chemistry between Meg and John. Sure it was awkward in the beginning and there were times when you wish you could hit them over the head with a pan but there was chemistry between them until the author ruined it. Yes, she ruined it, by adding in unnecessary plots and characters. I was really pissed that she made it seem like the main characters' relationship and get-to-know-each-other-scenes were a back-up plot to everything else.

6--They didn't fell in love at all. They were pushed toward each other. How the heck could they had fell in love at all??!! The book was too rushed and lacked details. I don't think I'm ever going to read another book from MacKenzie. I don't like the secondary characters and I doubt I would want to read their books.

The relationship--or lack of it--was too confusing and bland. We get more interaction from secondary characters that are too stupid to live and needs to be thrown off a mountain. The only times the H&H were really together was when they were forced to marry--and this didn’t happen until the last few chapters of the damn book. Even by then they're in love and yay! there's a happy ending.The End. Thank God....more
